STEM generally supports broadening the study of engineering within each of the other subjects, and beginning engineering at younger grades, even elementary school. It also brings STEM education to all students rather than only the gifted programs. Its Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy developed a list of 10 actions and the top 3 are listed here:

Strengthen the skills of teachers through additional training in science, mathematics and technology

Enlarge the pipeline of students prepared to enter college and graduate with STEM degrees

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration also has implemented programs and curricula to advance STEM education in order to replenish the pool of scientists, engineers and mathematicians who will lead space exploration in the 21st century.

After-school STEM programs children learn what the most promising practices are and how to implement them to increase the chance of student success.
